Fedora Core 2 installation problem
Hi folks,
I'm trying to upgrade RH8.0 to Fedora Core 2 from disc 1 but met with frustration. Following warning popup; /usr/tmp should instead be symbolic links........... But I could not find /usr/tmp directory. Shall I create an empty '/tmp' directory? Where shall I symbolic link it to? Kindly advise. TIA B.R. satimis |
you can either create a tmp directory under /usr or simply
ln -sf /tmp /usr to set a link to your /tmp directory. You SHOULD already have a /tmp directory. The default Fedora installation however sets /usr/tmp as a symbolic link to /var/tmp. |
Hi ppuru,
Tks for your advice. /tmp already exists under / Either # mkdir /usr/tmp # ln -sf /tmp /usr/tmp OR # ln -sf /tmp /usr/ If I'm wrong please correct me. TIA B.R. satimis |
you can use
# ln -sf /tmp /usr this will create a link to /tmp under your /usr directory. So /usr/tmp will put you on /tmp. |

Hi ppuru,
RH 8.0 Fedora Core 2 I still encountered following problem; Absolute Symlinks The following files are absolute symbolic links, which we do not support during upgrade. Please change them to relative symbolic links and restart upgrade. /usr/tmp # ln -sfr /tmp /usr Invalid option - -r Try 'ln --help' for more # man ln # ln --help could not find -a and -r options there. Kindly advise how to proceed. TIA B.R. satimis |
Well, in that case
#mkdir /usr/tmp #chmod a+rwxt /usr/tmp #chown root.root /usr/tmp should be the option. |
